Avoiding Accessibility Pitfalls: Lessons from Real Cases

A 90-minute deep dive into common accessibility errors and how to test effectively using real-world examples

Date and Time:
Nov 19th | 12 pm EDT

Duration:
90 minutes, including a live Q&A session.

Teams keep running into the same accessibility problems, even when they care about WCAG. In this live session, UsableNet’s accessibility experts will walk through the five issues that appear most often in our website audits, show how to test for them, and explain how to keep them from coming back. If you create, design, or maintain digital experiences, this session will help you make quick, meaningful progress for customers with disabilities.

Every year, UsableNet reviews hundreds of websites, apps, and digital experiences. The patterns are clear: a small set of issues drives a big portion of accessibility barriers. When you fix these, you improve real journeys for real customers and reduce exposure.

In this webinar, we’ll focus on five areas that are easy to miss but highly impactful:

User interface components - name, role and value
Link text and descriptive links
Image quality and missing alt text
Headings and page structure
Color contrast

Solving only five items will not make your experience fully accessible, but taking care of these creates a better, more consistent experience and gives your team a repeatable way to test.
